Quick start

Up and running in 5 steps.

No account. No backend. Just install, save, and use.

01

Install the extension

Add PromptMate from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Brave, Edge, and all Chromium-based browsers.

02

Connect Google Drive

When you open the sidebar for the first time, PromptMate asks to connect your Google Drive. Your library syncs to your own private folder — nothing stored on any external server.

03

Open any supported AI

Navigate to ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, or Kimi. Look for the PromptMate button in the bottom-right corner and click it to open your sidebar.

04

Save your first prompt

Click "New Prompt", write your instruction, choose a tone and output format, then save it to your library.

05

Use it in any chat

Find your prompt in the sidebar, click "Use" — it inserts into the chat with your tone and format applied.

Core workflow

Add a prompt, choose tone and format

Every prompt in PromptMate carries two signals beyond the text: a tone (formal, casual, technical) and an output format (bullets, steps, prose, code). When you click Use, both are appended automatically — no manual adjustment every session.

Edit & history

Edit prompts, restore any version

Prompts aren't static. Open any saved prompt and edit it mid-session — your changes save back to the library. Every edit creates a version, so you can browse the history and restore any prior version without losing work.

Prompt construction

What tone and format add to your prompt.

PromptMate keeps the task you wrote as the source of truth, then adds your selected tone and output format when you click Use. The result is a fuller prompt without retyping the same framing every time.

Saved prompt

The reusable instruction

This is the core task you save in PromptMate: what the AI should do, the context it needs, and any constraints that should travel with the prompt.

Tone

How the answer should sound

Tone nudges the response style without changing the task. Technical, concise, friendly, or formal tones keep repeated work consistent.

Use a technical but direct tone. Be precise, avoid fluff, and explain tradeoffs like a senior engineer reviewing the work.
Format

How the answer should be shaped

Format tells the AI how to structure the output so you can scan it quickly: bullets, steps, checklist, table, prose, or code.

Return the answer as a checklist with sections for blockers, important fixes, small improvements, and tests to add.

Tips

Build a library that sticks.

Small habits that make PromptMate worth keeping open.

Start with prompts you already reuse

Think about instructions you type every week — code review format, email drafts, explaining concepts. Those are your first 5 saves.

Use tone + format for consistent output

Setting tone and format on save means every session starts with the same AI behavior — no drift, no retraining the model each time.

Edit during a session, not before

Don't over-engineer prompts upfront. Save a rough version, use it, notice what's missing, then edit inline. The version history keeps your original.

History catches what you forgot

Every prompt you use is logged. If a session produced great output but you closed the tab, scroll the history — the prompt that worked is still there.
